Looking Back on 2025

2025 was a year that quietly asked everything of me. It wasn’t marked by loud victories or dramatic turning points, but by endurance, growth, grief, and moments of deep meaning that changed me in ways I’ll carry forward.

January began with heaviness and love intertwined. It was my sister’s first birthday in heaven always #38, always missed, always present in my heart. There was something surreal about marking that day without her here, learning how to celebrate and grieve at the same time. January also brought my final kidney surgery, closing a long and exhausting chapter. It felt like my body and spirit were both trying to heal, even while my heart was still very tender.

February brought a bright moment of pride and hope. Brooke was accepted into her education degree. Watching her step into the future she’s worked so hard for reminded me that even in the hardest seasons, life continues to unfold with purpose and promise.

March moved quietly. It wasn’t flashy or memorable on the surface, but it was a month of breathing, adjusting, and simply getting through. Sometimes survival is the achievement.

April surprised me with moments of validation I didn’t know how much I needed. Easter came with its usual mix of reflection and emotion, but it was also during April on Admin Day that I felt genuinely appreciated at work. It mattered more than I expected. Being seen, even briefly, gave me a small but meaningful sense of worth during a year when I often felt stretched thin.

May was full and emotional in the best and hardest ways. We traveled to Portland, Boston, and Colorado, marking our 23rd anniversary along the way. There was laughter, movement, and a reminder of how much life we’ve lived. The month was made even more special by Brooke graduating with her Bachelor of Arts in French and Music, with honors. Watching her walk across that stage was one of the proudest moments of my life  a reminder that love, effort, and perseverance truly matter.

June was when the cracks started to show. Burnout crept in slowly, and like so many times before, I tried to ignore it. I told myself to push through, to keep going, to be strong even as my body and heart were asking for rest.

July brought celebration and reflection as Brooke turned 22. Another year of watching her grow into herself, another reminder of how quickly time moves and how precious these milestones are.

August was softer. My mom came to visit, and her presence brought comfort, familiarity, and grounding. There’s something deeply healing about being with the people who know you in all your seasons.

September was heavy with contrast. Brooke started her education degree  an exciting new chapter while we also learned that David had stage 4 cancer. Joy and fear existed side by side. Life didn’t pause to let us catch our breath; it simply asked us to hold both.

October changed everything. David passed away, and with him, another piece of my heart broke. Losing my sister and then her husband within such a short time reshaped my world completely. Grief became louder, deeper, and unavoidable. Still, we took a small weekend trip for my birthday a gentle attempt to honor life even while mourning it.

November marked a brave step forward. I started a completely new career  a fresh beginning after leaving behind what no longer fit. It was scary, unfamiliar, and necessary. It felt like choosing myself, even while still carrying so much loss.

December closed the year with family gathered for Christmas. It wasn’t perfect or painless, but it was warm, meaningful, and rooted in togetherness. The empty spaces were felt, but so was the love that remains.

2025 was not the year I imagined  but it was a year that changed me. It taught me about resilience, about letting go, about starting again, and about how love continues even after unimaginable loss. I didn’t just survive this year. I learned, I grew, and I kept going. And that matters more than anything.

Word of the Year for 2025- Recap

 Last year, I chose healing as my word of the year. At the time, it wasn’t aspirational—it was survival. I didn’t choose it because I felt whole. I chose it because I was carrying more than I knew how to hold.

Midway through the year, I went to Colorado—the first time back since my sister passed. I thought I was ready. I wasn’t. The trip cracked something open in me, and by the time I came home, I was barely standing. The grief I had been carefully holding together finally demanded to be felt. That visit nearly broke me.

Not long after, I was diagnosed with burnout and placed on leave from work. What started as a pause became a reckoning. After three months, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life and stepped away completely. Letting go of work felt like another loss, but it was also an act of honesty. I could no longer pretend I was okay when I wasn’t.

Then October came—and with it, more heartbreak. I lost my brother-in-law. Grief, once again, rearranged everything. Losing them fifteen months apart changed me in ways I am still discovering.

From June to November, I was off work—unmoored, grieving, healing in the quiet when no one was watching. It was a season of uncertainty, fear, and deep inner work. And through it all, healing showed me something I had long struggled to believe: it is okay to put up boundaries. It is okay to say no. It is okay to step back, to protect my energy, to choose myself without guilt. Boundaries weren’t walls—they were necessary care.

And then, unexpectedly, I was offered a job that felt almost too good to be true. Not because it erased the pain—but because it met me where I actually was.

Healing didn’t look like progress the way I once defined it. It looked like stopping. It looked like boundaries. It looked like choosing my well-being over productivity. It looked like grief, courage, and trust—sometimes all in the same day.

As this year closes, I can say healing did its work—not by making me untouched, but by making me truer. I am softer. Stronger. More honest with myself. Healing wasn’t a straight line—it was a surrender. And somehow, through all of it, I am still here. Still becoming.

My Angel in Heaven

Dear Sis,

This is your second Christmas in heaven, and my heart still struggles to accept a world without you in it. Since you left us in July, time has moved forward, but the space you left behind has never been filled. The holidays make that space feel even bigger.

This year feels especially unreal. Now you have David with you, and losing both of you has been the shock of a lifetime. It’s still hard to understand how we’re meant to carry on without you and your husband here by our side. The silence you both left behind is heavy, especially at Christmas.

I still find myself picking up my phone to call you, forgetting for a moment that I can’t. In those moments, I’m reminded of how much I miss your voice, your advice, and the comfort of knowing you were always there.

The kids are doing well—about as well as they can be. We’re holding them close, loving them hard, and doing our best to surround them with the care and strength you would want for them. Lina has been a wonderful stepmom to them, loving and supporting them in ways that truly matter. I know that would mean so much to you.

I miss the love you shared, the life you built together, and the way you both made our family feel whole. Even in our grief, I try to find comfort in believing you are reunited together again, surrounded by peace, love, and light beyond anything we can imagine here.

This Christmas, I hold you both close in my heart. You are forever my sister, brother in law, forever family, and forever loved.

Merry Christmas in heaven. I miss you more than words can say.

Why Proper Weight Distribution Matters More Than Horsepower in Mud

When driving in mud or on low-traction surfaces, traction matters more than raw engine horsepower. No matter how powerful your engine is, the wheels can spin if your truck doesn’t have proper grip.

Proper weight distribution in trucks helps the tires maintain contact with the ground, improving stability and control. A well-balanced vehicle spreads the load evenly, preventing wheel spin and reducing the chance of getting stuck.

Using the right tools also helps. Traction aids like TruckClaws can give your tires the extra grip needed to move through slippery mud safely. Combining weight balance, tire setup, and recovery gear keeps you in control on challenging trails.

How Does Weight Distribution Affect Traction?

The way weight is spread in your truck strongly impacts traction. A 50:50 front-to-rear balance usually gives the best stability and tire wear, while a slightly rear-biased setup can help with acceleration on slippery surfaces.

A front-heavy bias can reduce steering control, making it harder to navigate muddy trails, whereas too much weight in the back may cause fishtailing. Proper weight placement maximizes the tire contact patch, helping your truck “float” over mud instead of digging in.

A simple tip: airing down tires slightly increases grip, and using TruckClaws can provide extra traction when needed.

Can Horsepower Replace Proper Weight Placement?

No matter how strong your engine is, horsepower alone cannot replace proper weight placement. In mud or slippery trails, too much power often causes wheel spin, making your truck dig deeper instead of moving forward.

Traction comes first—without it, extra power is wasted. Only after proper weight distribution and correct tire setup is in place does engine power help your vehicle move efficiently. Tools like TruckClaws can assist when tires lose grip on soft ground.

How Can Tires and Traction Aids Help?

Choosing the right tires works hand-in-hand with weight distribution to improve grip on muddy or soft surfaces. Mud tires dig deeper and float better in mud, while all-terrain tires provide more versatile performance but less flotation.

When tires slip, traction aids like TruckClaws can help your vehicle regain grip and avoid getting stuck. Using proper weight placement, the right tires, and recovery tools together ensures better vehicle control in mud and makes off-road driving safer and more predictable.

What Are the Risks of Poor Weight Management?

Vehicles with a front-heavy bias tend to understeer, making steering difficult, while rear-heavy setups can fishtail or oversteer, especially in mud. Poor weight distribution also raises the risk of sinking, getting high-centered, or losing overall control.

Extra or uneven weight increases braking distance and strains brakes, suspension, and drivetrain components. Proper load distribution ensures the tire contact patch is maximized, helping prevent traction loss and reducing the chance of vehicle damage during off-road or muddy conditions.

How Can Drivers Maximize Performance in Mud?

Before heading out, do a thorough pre-trip inspection and ensure weight is balanced across the vehicle. Adjust tire pressures to improve the contact patch for better flotation. Use smooth driving techniques—gradual acceleration and careful steering—to maintain traction.

Always carry TruckClaws and other recovery gear for self-rescue in sticky mud or low-traction conditions. Training and experience amplify the benefits of proper weight placement, tire choice, and traction aids, helping drivers navigate muddy trails safely and efficiently while protecting the vehicle.

Conclusion: What’s the Key Takeaway?

Balanced weight distribution, the right tire setup, and moderate horsepower are more important than raw engine power in muddy conditions. Proper traction ensures control and safety. 

Carry TruckClaws as part of your recovery toolkit to handle slippery situations. Preparation, understanding your vehicle, and strong driver skill outperform simply adding horsepower when navigating low-traction off-road terrain.

The Unexpected Joy of Reclaiming an Overgrown Backyard

Most people don’t actually plan to let their backyards turn into a mini jungle, but it still happens, and even if it happens slowly, before long you’ll be staring out of the window wondering how on earth you’re going to deal with it all because it’s basically got out of hand. But the lovely part is that overgrown backyards have a lot of potential, and although they’re definitely messy, there’s something truly satisfying about bringing a space back to life. With that in mind, keep reading to find out more.

It’s Therapeutic To Start Fresh

Reclaiming an overgrown yard means a lot of hard work to begin with, including pulling weeds, trimming bushes, hauling the mess away, and so on - you’ll be breaking a sweat, that’s for sure. But rather wonderfully, you’ll also be able to see progress right away because as soon as you cut something back, there’s space and parts of the garden you probably forgot existed. It becomes one of those projects where the effort you put in pays off in real time. 

Sometimes that first big step just needs some good pruning shears, but if it’s really become a bigger mess, then it could be wise to start with proper land clearing services just to get the place back to a point where you can work on it. Once everything’s cleared, you can decide exactly how it’s going to look and how you’re going to use it, which is pretty exciting. 

You’ll Stop Seeing It As A Chore 

Once all the big stuff is cleared, you’ll be able to see that your yard - the one you’ve essentially been ignoring - could be something brilliant. Maybe there’s a sunny corner you could use as a reading spot, for example, or perhaps there’s a shady area that’s ideal for a hammock or as a place for a morning coffee in the summer, and so on. 

And once you’re able to use the garden how you really want to because you’ve taken the time to clear it up and get it right, any additional jobs (and there will always be additional jobs) will feel like you’re making things better, and it’ll stop feeling quite so much like a chore - so you’ll be motivated to do more. 

Small Touches Make The Yard Feel Like Yours Again

You don’t need to design a garden masterpiece because even the simplest of improvements make the entire area feel different - in a good way. You could clear a path and add a few lights or make sure there’s a good patch of lawn for the kids to run around on, and of course, you’ll want a seating area too. 

Forget the magazine spreads and the perfectly landscaped and manicured lawns because you’re creating a backyard for real life, not Instagram, so keep that in mind, and your choices should be easier and the results should be better. 

Final Thoughts 

There really is a special kind of joy that comes from knowing you’ve worked hard to reclaim an overgrown backyard, and you’ll feel a little bit of pride every time you look out the window at what you’ve achieved. And the more you use it, the better it will be. 

How To Give Your Business A Strong Chance Of Success

Whatever kind of business you happen to run, it’s valuable if you can make sure that it is going to have a very strong chance of success, and this is something that you should be able to work pretty easily most of the time. As long as you do that, your business should have a much better chance. In this post, we are going to consider some of the things you can do to give your business a strong chance of success, and the following are all going to be incredibly important considerations in that. Let’s take a look right now.

Come Up With A Strong Idea

The idea behind the business is of course hugely important, and you will want to make sure that it is one that you are genuinely passionate about. As long as that is the case, it means that you are going to have a much better chance of being able to grow the business effectively, and that you will find it easier to work hard on the business as well. So all in all, having an idea that you really care about can make a world of difference to your chances of success with that venture.

Get Legal Help

There are so many legal elements to running any business, and you will find it is really invaluable to have the right kind of help here. From the start, it’s therefore a wise move to try and find a legal team who are going to be able to give you the right kind of advice. As long as you find someone that works well for you and whom you feel aligned with, you should find that you are going to have a much stronger business all in all when it comes to the legal side of things.

Develop Your Product

A strong business generally has a well-developed product, and you are going to find it’s incredibly valuable to have thought about this from the start too. The more effectively you can develop your product, and the more fully you do so, the better. Think about what can actually help people, what your target customers are looking for, and how you might be able to give them what they need. This is how you can ensure you develop a product that people are really going to go for in a big way.

Create A Brand

The brand itself is hugely powerful too, and you need to make sure that you are giving yourself the chance to develop a brand that is really going to make a huge difference. If you can do that, it’s amazing how much it can help, and it can have the effect of making your business so much more likely to succeed in no time. Work on your brand until you are really happy with it and you are going to feel so much better about it as a result.

How To Be A Responsible Business Owner

Running a business isn’t just about making a profit or building a name - you also want to be someone people can trust, and that includes your customers, your employees, and even your family. And although responsibility might not sound too exciting, it’s what keeps everything moving forward, especially when the unexpected happens. Being a responsible business owner means thinking long-term, caring about the people around you, and taking ownership of choices in work and life. So with that in mind, keep reading on to find out more.

Start With Financial Awareness 

Money might not be the most interesting part of running a business (apart from receiving it, of course!), but when you think about it, it’s essentially the backbone of everything else, and being responsible means knowing where your money’s going, how much is coming in, and having a plan in place for when things don’t go as expected. 

That’s why it’s worth setting time aside every month to review your accounts, check your cash flow, and plan ahead for tax or unexpected expenses. Even small steps like keeping your invoices organised or setting up an emergency fund can make a big difference because when your finances are under control, your decisions are easier and much less stressful. 

Look After The People Who Depend On You

If you employ people, being responsible also means looking after their wellbeing, and that includes creating a safe workplace, paying fairly, and giving them the tools and support they need to do their jobs well. 

But it’s not just about your team - it’s about everyone who relies on your business, from customers to suppliers. The more reliable you are, the more they’ll trust you, and then they’ll stay with you and be loyal. 

Think Beyond The Business 

Being responsible doesn’t stop at the office door - your decisions have an impact on lots of people, including your family, your community, and even your future self… Part of being a good leader is making sure that if something unexpected happens to you, the people around you aren’t just left in chaos. 

That’s why planning for the future is just as important as managing the present, and sorting out a will from experienced solicitors might be one of the best things you do when it comes to being responsible. A will ensures your assets, your company, and the people who depend on you are protected, and it’s a simple act that can save a lot of stress and problems when the time comes. 

Keep Learning And Adapting 

Responsibility isn’t about having all the answers and that’s that - you’ve got to be willing to learn because there are always news things coming out that are going to be important and that will help you adjust and keep improving so you can be more and more successful. So staying informed and open-minded is something that’s going to keep your business relevant and also ethical. 

Final Thoughts 

In the end, a responsible business owner is someone who builds something that lasts, and although you don’t have to be perfect, you do have to be prepared. 

What to do with your kid after school

Figuring out what to do with your kid after school is challenging as a parent. You know that their day in lessons has probably tired them out, but you also know that the working day isn't over for them, and that they need to constantly be learning or at least developing in some way. 

That’s where this guide comes into the picture. It explores some of the activities that you might want to check out if your kid is in the middle of the semester. With these, you can really move the needle and put them in the best position to have the life that they want. 

Schedule Facetime With Grandparents

You’ll want to start by scheduling some face time with the wider family at least once per week. This time is critical for them to explore relationships with older people and not just focus on their peer group (which a lot of children are tempted to do when they’re younger). 

If they don’t literally want to sit down in front of the computer for 10 minutes, you can get them to send voice notes. Grandparents love this sort of thing. 

LEGO Therapy

Another thing you can do is get them to do some LEGO therapy. The idea here is for them to build something that expresses the quality of their day. 

For example, if they went through a tough math test, they can write it out in LEGO. Or they can create a sports field if they did some physical education. 

The nice thing about a LEGO resume is that you can photograph their hard work and then store it for posterity. Then, in the future, they can see what they were thinking at specific times on specific dates. 

Give Them A Wind-Down Box

Since school can be stressful, you might want to give your child a wind-down box. These contain a bunch of items that help them calm down once they get back from lessons. 

For example, you could pack it with things like audio stories and lavender pillow sprays. You could also give them third grade activities like coloring sheets or a chance to write in a journal for the first time. 

Ideally, what you want is something that’s going to soothe them and prepare them for the next day. You need it to be ready to go once they get home. 

Make Sure They Get Some Time Outside And Inside To Themselves

With kids’ schedules so packed these days, it’s critical that they get outdoor and indoor time to themselves. That’s why a lot of parents now institute the “20/20” rule. The idea here is to let kids decide what they want to do outside and then inside for twenty minutes each per day, giving them some freedom.

For example, you might allow your kids to jump in puddles, water the plants, or dance in the garage. 

Go On A Library Tour

You could also take your kids on a library tour to get them interested in reading. The idea is to go in, grab as many books as possible in five minutes, and then slowly work your way through them all over a two-week period.

A lot of libraries now allow you to stay inside and make noise in dedicated areas. Therefore, make sure you carve away a niche somewhere and then read to your kids after school. You don’t need to do it for long: just five to ten minutes. Remember, children naturally love stories, so reading aloud to them can capture their attention and keep them engaged. 

Set Up A Kitchen Lab

Cooking is a skill that’s being lost among many people in the younger generation, and that’s a shame. Not only does it mean they’re missing out on a lot of delicious food, but it also puts them at a higher risk of being unhealthy. 

Therefore, look for a way to set up a kitchen lab with them. Introduce different machines and then teach them how to use them one by one. The more you educate them today, the keener they will be on using them in the future. 

Trade Kids

Another cool idea is to just trade your kids with a neighbor for the afternoon. Getting them out of their usual environment and into another one shows them what life’s like on the other side. It introduces them to new experiences and family dynamics so they don’t stick in the same patterns. 

Usually, this is pretty easy to do. All you have to do is ask another parent and they’ll make it happen for you. 

Pick A Mini Challenge

You could also look into the option of picking a mini challenge with them. This is something difficult that they need to do but that they probably won’t be asked to do at school. 

That sounds complicated, but it isn’t. For example, you might set up an obstacle course in the backgarden or ask them to create a blanket fort inside. 

Just make sure that the mini challenge is something fun. You want it to feel like a fun extra-curricular activity, not something that they have to do. 

Make Space For A Brain Dump

If your child is so inclined, you might want to make space for a brain dump. This is a 15-minute session where they get the chance to communicate everything they’ve learned at school that day and tell you about it. It could also be about the people they met, the conversations they had, or even the trouble they got into. 

As a parent, it’s important not to judge what they say. All you want to do is listen at this stage and provide a space where they can be honest. 

Provide Snacks

Lastly, going to school takes up a lot of energy. That’s why it’s sometimes nice to give your kid some healthy snacks after they finish working. Apple slices, veggies with hummus and other treats are all worthwhile. Just avoid the toxic sugary drinks that are popular these days. 

How To Give Customers A Seamless E-Commerce Checkout Experience

You may feel as though checking out is the simplest part of business, as it is simply crossing the finish line. The truth is that a complicated or clunky checkout section can put customers off quickly. By optimising this stage, you can instantly boost your business as people will remember how they felt. Here are a few ways you can give customers a seamless e-commerce checkout experience: 

Simplify The Entire Flow 

There is no reason to make your website and your checkout system confusing. Keep it as simple as possible by removing unnecessary steps and form fields. With a clean and intuitive layout, you can guide users from start to finish. This kind of thing is incredibly satisfying when you want to purchase something. Every single click should feel as though it has a purpose. It may not seem like a big deal, but more clicks feel like more barriers for them to jump over. It's very easy to lose sales when the flow is awkward. 

Flexible Payment Options 

Shoppers don't want to be stuck with one option all of the time. They want choice and convenience when checking out. By supporting multiple payment methods, you will reduce hesitation and appeal to a wider audience. You could integrate a franchise POS system that works with both online and in-store transactions if that's the kind of route you wish to go down. If you are adaptable with your systems, you will feel professional and seamless to customers. It is imperative to come across as flexible at checkouts if you want to build lasting trust and improve conversions. 

Transparent Communication Methods 

It is essential that customers feel secure when they check out. If you've got something to tell visitors, make sure it is crystal clear for them to understand. Ensure that pricing, shipping costs, and security are there for people to see. This will reassure them that you are legitimate and worthy of their trust. Do not catch them out with hidden fees or surprise totals, as this will make you look incredibly shady. If you are transparent as a business, you will immediately transform certainty into confidence and assurance. Customers want to know exactly what they are paying for, so make sure this is understood right away.

Optimizing For Mobile 

An awful lot of customers shop from their phones in this day and age. They want speed and convenience in almost everything they do. Gone are the days of booting up specific sites and pages; people can simply order whatever they want within seconds. While it’s an amazing feat, it’s something you’ll have to live up to if you want success. Optimize your page performance for mobile and ensure button spacing is right for tapping. Remove pop-ups and redirects if they’re beginning to annoy visitors. You’ve got to keep things swift because every single second of delay increases bounce rates and drop-offs. With a responsive design, you will keep things smooth for those purchasing your goods. By prioritizing speed and accessibility, you will ensure that the checkout experience matches expectations.
